PCLL’s Lightning competitive tournament baseball team is a program offered in addition to your regular season team. Players that are selected will begin practicing together this fall (weather permitting), then begin the full training program in January 2023 with indoor practices. Indoor practices focus heavily on building strong fundamentals and preparing the team for high-level competition in local tournaments. Teams will participate in at least 4 tournaments, typically in southeast Michigan, in the Spring/Summer of 2023.
Players that participate will receive Lightning team uniforms, helmets, and personalized team baseball bags included in the registration fee. Our registration fee is historically between $500-600 and includes both Lightning and spring/summer regular season registration, both team uniforms, Lightning gear, and tournament registration fees. Compared to local travel teams at $1,500-$3,000, the kids get a lot of baseball and excellent experience for a competitive cost.
Many of our Lightning kids also go on to represent PCLL in the district tournament after the spring/summer regular season concludes.
If you think your player is ready to step up to the next level, please come to the tryout for your player’s age range. Please note, birthdates between May to September are eligible for their designated division or the next division up.
